Hi Ike,

You should also have a look at hping (#6 on Fyodors tools list this year).
www.hping.org - check out the wiki at wiki.hping.org

or just save yourself a lot of time and build it from ports:

/usr/ports/net/hping

The man page is quite informative.

Many timing, output, and protocol options are available.
Easily scriptable, you can also use the underlying API in programs
(as Fyodor did with Nmap).

Best,
Jim B.
